The Experience
Whether you’re looking to indulge, energise, explore, relax or reflect, the Great Ocean Ecolodge will provide the perfect escape. Guests live sustainably and are offered an immersive nature experience. This includes the opportunity to:
- accompany dedicated ecologists
- observe the exquisite wildlife ranging freely through the property
- assist with the rehabilitation of injured and orphaned wildlife
- participate in ecological monitoring and habitat restoration projects
- enjoy the Koala Conservation Experience or the Tiger Quoll Conservation Experience, or
- make the Ecolodge your base while embarking on the Great Ocean Walk.
The Ecolodge is perfectly located, adjoining the Great Otway National Park and within the grounds of a conservation research and wildlife rehabilitation centre. It has beautiful facilities and only five bedrooms, so your visit will be unique and personal, particularly if you choose to book the whole Ecolodge exclusively.
From every window the views over the Otway Ranges, Kitchen Gardens or kangaroo meadows are breathtaking and the dawn chorus is magical. Dining is a special experience, watching the kangaroos while enjoying gourmet delights created by our talented chefs.
Your stay at the Ecolodge includes:
- Delicious afternoon tea and coffee with biscuits and cakes fresh from our ovens.
- Evening conservation activities, accompanied by dedicated ecologists, in the grounds of the Conservation Ecology Centre.
- Peaceful nights – breathtaking views, private ensuite bathrooms, crisp linen, timeless antiques and fluffy towels.
- Leisurely breakfasts – a sumptuous array of fresh homemade mueslis, fresh fruits, local breads, croissants and homemade preserves.
